The operation 900 km from the border with Ukraine was carried out by the SBU (Security Service of Ukraine), the Special Operations Forces and the Defence Intelligence.

On the night of October 19-20, drones of the SBU, the Special Operations Forces and the Defence Intelligence struck the Sverdlov Plant in the city of Dzerzhinsk (Nizhny Novgorod Region of the Russian Federation), NV sources in the Ukrainian special services reported.

According to Ukrainian officers, the enterprise is part of the Russian defence industry complex and is under sanctions from the EU and the United States, since the plant's products are used to wage war in Ukraine.
